[antlr-interest] Why is parsing in antlrworks slower?

Of course is creating a GUI time-consuming. Also the debugging creates a program which communicates over the network stack, which is a considerable delay alone. This also causes the duplication of the tokens (one in the parser, one for the GUI).
